"Pikon"

[ericvids]

So I'm pretty sure everyone knows about the Chip Tsao incident by now. I have a very clear stance: His column is gravely offensive for advocating the mistreatment of Filipino servants as if they were slaves, and if he's trying to be funny to prove a (supposedly unrelated) point, he failed in that regard miserably and he is unwittingly (meant as

Well there will always be those two kinds of people:

1) Those of us who do everything and give our all and our best to make things better, and

2) Those who do NOTHING but sit on their butts and criticize all the hard work being made ;)

[ericvids]

Yeah. I just hope the majority of us are in #1. I get enough of #2 at work. =))

Aba nabuhay! :)) Kamusta ka na?

BRA-FUCKING-VO. Ang galing ng argument mo.

Seriously, I did NOT like the Indolent Indio's take on this, because no matter what you do, the original article was demeaning.

I have many OFW friends like you and GF-chama. I have OFW family - they're actually waiting for us to join them in the diaspora, never mind if they're in the US where they get insulted half the time for being FIlipino, and only praised when they do something that's not way better than what the Caucasians can do with their limits.

Hay buhay.

Agreed. Indolent Indio is just another example of those elitists who'd like to think that "getting a joke" (no matter how unfunny it is) puts them one step above the masses.

Oh, and technically I'm not an OFW; I'm a student. ^_^ However I have seen and met many Filipinos around here, and they're all very hardworking. I'm sure a lot of them plan to go back to the Philippines as soon as they can afford it -- mahal kasi magretire dito sa SG, so it's much better to live your prime in the Philippines.

Needless to say, to these OFWs, Chip Tsao and his "Filipino" supporters are nothing more than assholes who sling bits of you-know-what at their faces, and they NEED to be defended.

My bad, you're not an OFW nga pala, you're a foreign student. v^^0 Sorry!

I am annoyed that some of our own continue to think like elitists, spouting off pompous words like "you just don't get satire".

And yes, iba talaga ang quality of life abroad. Mahal. X3 Am currently trying to test the waters with my man if he's open to living here.

Uy good luck diyan! Hope it works out! :D
